Blue glittery flower

Daria's Sparkle & Frost challenge was so to do the 'dryer sheet technique', you can find the tutorial by Charmaine Ikach here. I have never seen a dryer sheet in my life, so instead I used tulle. I stamped the flower with Archival Jet Black ink and coloured it with Distress Markers (Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw). I applied Scoretape on top of the flower, added the tulle and then sprinkled glitter on top, rubbing it into the tape. It's a really fun technique and I bet it looks even better if you use a used dryer sheet.

The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Smokey Gray and I used the same ink to stamp the scipt on the patterned paper.

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I have been doing arts and crafts my whole life, but papercrafting is the one that has totally captured my heart and mind. I started making cards in 2002 and to scrapbook two years later. I enjoy switching between the differently sized space of a card and a layout. My stamps and dies are my absolute favorite tools and I love creating something out of only white paper, stamps and ink, and to try out different techniques.
